> Basic question, I know: How can I simplify this so to not repeat amost identical filter segments:
<<list-links "[all[shadows+tiddlers]!has[draft.of]tag[Foo]] [all[shadows+tiddlers]!has[draft.of]tag[Bar]]">> I think that the best we can do at the moment in terms of reducing repetition is: [all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[Foo]] all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[Bar]] +[!has[draft.of]] We can already use the set widget to store an intermediate filter result. With a new filter operator to retrieve a list from a variable we could do this: <$set name="partial-result" filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]!has[draft.of]"> <$list filter="[varlist[partial-result]tag[Foo]] [varlist[partial-result]tag[Bar]]"> ... etc I think that is quite powerful, but it doesn't really help with an expressive way of writing an OR relationship. Best wishes Jeremy.
